Mr Darcy is better known for striding moodily out of lakes than going for a vigorous jog.
But for new father Jack Lowden, who is returning from paternity leave to play Jane Austen’s romantic hero, getting back into shape is all part of the job.
The Slow Horses star, 35, was seen enjoying a workout in a North London park this week, days after welcoming his first child with Irish actress Saoirse Ronan.
The Scottish actor, who took time out of filming the new Netflix production of Pride and Prejudice to spend time with his wife and their new baby – as yet not publicly named – worked up a sweat with a run and a stretch.
He and Little Women star Ms Ronan, 31, who wed last year in Edinburgh, were seen for the first time with the newborn this month when they took a stroll with a pram.
Filming for the highly-anticipated drama is said to have ‘slowed down’ after Lowden – who stars alongside The Crown‘s Emma Corrin as Lizzie Bennet and Olivia Colman as Mrs Bennet – chose to take some leave when the baby was born.
Producers are said to have used Lowden lookalikes so some filming could still take place.
Not only will Lowden be heading back on set for the six-part Netflix production, but the fifth series of Apple TV hit Slow Horses, in which he plays MI5 agent River Cartwright, returns to our screens this week. Pride and Prejudice is set for release in 2026.
